Ookla Speedtest is now offering users the ability to directly measure their video streaming experience, providing a new Speedtest that measures max resolution, buffering and loading times. It’s only available on iOS devices to start, but Ookla says it’ll be rolling out to other platforms soon.
“While network speed certainly impacts your video experience, providers routinely prioritize video traffic differently than other traffic,” Ookla said in a post explaining the new metrics and other recent changes it has made to its app. “This means that video can perform very differently than the rest of the things you do online, no matter how fast the download speed of your network.”
